Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' sensational first season as a starting quarterback was officially celebrated with the AP Most Valuable Player award at the 2019 NFL Honors banquet on Saturday night.
Mahomes edged out New Orleans Saints star Drew Brees to capture his first career MVP award. He was also named the AP Offensive Player of the Year.
Mahomes was not the only one to take home hardware, though. Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald was named the AP Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, and New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley beat out Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield for the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
